We came on Wednesday and were served by Luka. He did a fantastic job, was attentive and friendly! I am gluten free and was impressed with the variety of options, I went for the GF fish and chips which was delicious and my mom the pesto gnocci. Overall was a lovely meal and would definitely return! 😊

A must-visit in Russell! After a day at the beach, my wife, our friend, our two kids (9 and 5), and I stopped by Hone’s Garden, and it was absolutely phenomenal. We ordered the barbecue chicken pizza, a gluten-free pizza, and the garlic herb pizza bread with added mozzarella—all were delicious. The salads (Greek, Caprese, and pear) were fresh and flavorful, and the dozen oysters, served simply with a wedge of lemon, were fantastic. The drink options were equally impressive—a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a microbrew rounded out the meal perfectly. The service was excellent—the staff were attentive, answered all our questions, and went out of their way to address our friend's gluten-free concerns. Hone’s Garden is the perfect blend of great food, drinks, and friendly service in a beautiful setting. We’ll definitely be coming back, and it’s a must-stop if you’re in Russell!

The vegan salad was delicious and didn't need the haloumi I added. It was healthy, satisfying, and would have been great on its own. The salted caramel almond slice was also good, and it was gluten-free, vegan, and refined sugar-free. The lemon honey was amazing, especially since I asked for a super strong one and got extra lemon honey ginger syrup and hot water. The staff was friendly. I also found a nice treat for myself at the crystal shop nearby that closes at 1pm.

Very good experience at Charlotte’s kitchen. Staff were friendly, atmosphere was great (but very busy) and the food came out fast and was delicious. Highly recommend getting at least one pizza! The best thing is that they take food allergies seriously. The menu is labeled (eg gluten free, dairy free, vegan etc) so you know what’s what. And the staff always ask the kitchen if you have any further questions. Definitely recommend this place if anyone in the family has dietary restrictions.

Was happily informed about the specials of 2 large pizzas for $32. It was clearly a popular deal as the place was very busy. Got a table easily enough and was cool to find they offered board games to play. So playing cards was a good option while there was a long wait (though this was because they were down on staff). We got 2 pizzas for kids to share (Spicy Pepperoni and Popcorn Chicken), and hubby and I shared a gluten free Bacon Cheeseburger. The GF base was excellent and they said they made it on site. Menu would be helpful if things were clearer which toppings were GF. (Regular fries were GF, curly fries were not). A good atmosphere, fun looking at the old movie posters and car plates, a bit too many tvs which distracted kids (and adults). Overall worth the good deal if you’re happy to wait.

Went for a casual early dinner with a coeliac guest. The staff were so so friendly. They really made a great niggt. There were so many GF options, even deep fried, we may have over indulged. Might be a different vibe later in the evening, but for us it was a great night with tasty food and great service.

We were blown away by the service we received when we visited. Our daughter has coeliac disease and the staff were super helpful explaining what she could and couldn't eat. When her pizza was a little late coming out, we were given updates to say it was not far away. Everything tasted great and the restaurant filled up while we were there but this didn't mean a drop in the attention we received. We had originally planned to just get takeaway pizzas and eat on the beach but we're glad we chose to eat in instead. We will definitely be back.

Had the best continental breakfast I have ever had! The waitress was super lovely and very accommodating to my gluten free requests. And the basket of toys occupied my children long enough for me to enjoy my food. Highly recommend!

My wife really appreciate the fact that this place does a gluten-free batter. She rarely gets to eat a battered fish. It’s a small yet busy place with undercover seating right over the water. The freshness of the fish is the real drawcard. They have several options of locally caught fish, priced accordingly. Well worth a visit. The service was pretty slick considering how busy it was and how many orders they’re getting through.
